“I need an EMT. I think this girl is dying. She just fell and hit her head,” a caller told 911 dispatchers in audio obtained by WSAV.

Dispatcher: Is she breathing?

Caller: I don't think so, her chest isn't moving.

Her boyfriend performed CPR until medical workers arrived. They continued CPR for several minutes until Smith was pronounced dead.

Her brother, Furman junior Ryan Smith, was present and told deputies his sister didn’t have any medical issues that he was aware of, the report said. Both Smith and her boyfriend said the group was drinking alcohol but not using drugs or narcotics.

An autopsy was performed by the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston Monday but “the cause of death and manner of death is pending per further analysis,” Beaufort County Deputy Coroner David Ott told the Island Packet.
